Greetings,
LVP's community forum has now been updated from MyBB 1.8.7 to 1.8.8. This update primarily consists of squashing bugs. A full overview of the fixed issues can be found here: https://github.com/mybb/mybb/issues?q=milestone%3A1.8.8+is%3Aclosed
Whilst we're hoping that the update will not introduce a forest filling range of issues, as with maintenance of this nature, there is an element of risk involved. As such, if anything looks out of place or doesn't work as expected, please raise your hand and say so! :)
Furthermore, if you've any suggestions to improve the forum, we'd also love to hear from you!
Lastly, we've introduced [ spoiler ] tags.
[spoiler="MyBB..."]...has been updated :)[/spoiler]
Enjoy!
On behalf of the Las Venturas Playground Management,
George

With the release of LVP gamemode version 30.6, our developers introduced many wonderful features, improvements, and bug fixes. Our VIPs will now have the ability to own up to three houses per VIP account, anyone can now add health and armor pickups to their houses. This gives you the ability to essentially purchase permanent spawn armor if you spawn at a house with an armor pickup. The new vehicle system has been improved from LVP 30.5, and restrictions on recently shot and players who have shot on entering interiors have been introduced.
New features:
Improvements:
Bug fixes:
Special mention for Halo, who reported a lot of fantastic issues:
Las Venturas Playground would also like to thank Deer_Hunter, Joe, George, TEF and Lithirm for their testing and bug reports during this release.
